With more than 50 years of history, in 2019 we reached the record number of 460 members.
We own a fleet of 26 sailing boats of different types and we promote sailing in all forms: courses of multiple levels, practice sessions, sea cruises, regattas and social activities.
All the sailing activities, if not differently specified, starts in Versoix Port Choiseul.
